Editorial Reviews

FOCUS MAGAZINE, December 1998
"These contributors are vet Toddheads, Mink Hollow graduates, and orthodox Utopians, who breathe and drink Todd. And their devotion shows. Not only do they understand his lifelong musical nuances, they carry on his peculiar-yet-peppery popisms into their own work."

Product Description
A musical collage of Rundgrenian themes and vision.

This is not a real Todd Rundgren recording. This is just a musical representation of certain rundgrenian themes: the search for inspiration and the creation of beauty. True inspiration may come to a lucky few but beauty exists for all those inspired enough to perceive it. Some of these songs are uncanny simulations while others ring true in tone and spirit. At any rate, we should all have fun listening...

4.0 out of 5 stars TR Variations - Deface the (Todd Rundgren) Music, November 15, 1999
By A Customer
These artists have each attempted to capture a facet of the sonic or lyrical essence of Todd Rundgren.

It is an entertaining romp through Mr. Rundgren's catalogue - and I'll be damned, if there aren't some jewels on here that stand on their own!

3.0 out of 5 stars Somebody's Hero, September 20, 2001
By A Customer
Fairly mixed results...wish someone ( Todd ) or anybody with a generous spirit would have tweaked the masters to produce an overall better product. Dee Allen's "Somebody's Hero " stands out as the best effort.
